[QUOTE="wmk0002, post: 462236, member: 13975"] I think considering the price and the few reviews I saw on another forum, I will go ahead and buy one. Now I just need to choose the setback. Can anyone offer some advice on if I should choose the 5" or 7" setback model? I know the further back the motor is set back the higher it can run, however, I'm not looking for a super shallow running boat since my hull is thin and riveted. I'm also concerned about too much setback causing an issue reaching the tiller handle/shifter. My current motor mounted to the transom has about a perfect length tiller handle in relation to my seat location but the shifter is on the side of the motor so it is annoying to reach. Not sure if a new 25hp (or even older 25hp) will have a longer tiller handle than my 9.9/15 though. I know at least the shifter will at least be located in a better position. [/QUOTE]
